I just bought Google Pixel a couple of days ago. The reason is that my 6+ y.o. Samsung Galaxy phone hasn't been receiving updates for a long time and my banking app had finally stopped working. The main deciding factor for purchasing Pixel was GrapheneOS. The privacy and security it offers while allowing you to use pretty much use any Android app hassle free is a big selling point.
My old phone was actually still working okay but it became unusable as day to day phone due to lack of updates from Samsung. Also, the idea of locking myself into the Samsung ecosystem never appealed to me. I never really used Samsung-specific apps beyond Camera and Gallery.
We're at the point already when a mid-range phone has more than good enough hardware specs. Paying $1,000 for a phone or purchasing a new phone every year or two makes no sense to me.
